pup ==> to be perfect, exact. In this sense, since we are talking about
her skin, it means 'unblemished' or 'smooth'. Not a great word, but best I
could do with this vocabulary.
DujSam ==> Ship's hull. I tossed these two words together without any
authority, but figured they were pretty darned obvious.
